Caruso's experiment is amusing but also highlights the absolute confidence with which an AI can spout nonsense. Copilot (like ChatGPT) had likely been trained on the fundamentals of chess, but could not create strategies. The problem was compounded by the fact that what it understood the positions on the chessboard to be, versus reality, appeared to be markedly different.
The story's moral has to be: Beware of the confidence of chatbots. LLMs are apparently good at some things. A 45-year-old chess game is clearly not one of them. ® //

I just tried your query against ChatGPT to make an image of a chess opening board, it's hilarious. It's 8x7, with squares labelled A-H across the bottom but on the left and right sides it's got numbers 5,2,4,5,6,7 and blank. The pieces look weird, like the knights are mixed with rooks. And it seems like white has 2 queens whilst black has 2 kings. //

Other than boasting, (or advertising copy – is that the same thing?) what are LLMs good for? //
